Memorial Day (A time to desecrate our bodies)

Yesterday was quite eventful. Me and Merritt went to empire to get more ink, I got the bird on the cover of the new Bayside CD on the inside of my bicep. My reasoning for this was, the title of the album is "The Walking Wounded". This to me means that even though I may not be perfect I am still alive and as long as I am God has a purpose for me to fufill. So like the wounded bird he has hope and knows his purpose is not to be nothing...I am the same way, wounded and imperfect before God but he still loves me and uses me.
And on the way back home Hoyt, Chris, and I saw an old man riding a unicycle in the Ingles parking lot. That was truly an amazing thing to see after being in NC all day. The trip was fun but kinda sad b/c Wylie Perry is moving to New York...so that was the last time he would desecrate my body in the south. Hopefully it isn't the last one I ever get from him.

Ten Foot Tall and Bulletproof

If I were 10 foot tall and bullet proof I would run through a gunfight knife held high screaming at the top of my lungs. But seeing as that isn't the case I shouldn't do that. It would be an unwise choice therefore ending my short-lived life of playing guitar and doing random things. Maybe I should do something that matters instead sitting around thinking of what I would do if I was 10 foot tall and bulletproof. Truth is I'm just lacking inspiration for new tunes....but I'll come out of this slump eventually just because I always do.

Good Times

Some of the best things in life can actually be free...(unless you figure in the gas to drive somewhere and the cost of food at a restaurant) but hey that's not what im talkin about. Tonight me and my best friend Randy went and sat around outside at AU and played guitar and shared stories from this school year. He just got back from MTSU which is right outside of Nashville not too long ago and tonight was the first time we've hung out. So therefore it was a good night, and the whole music thing costed me nothing.

In other news, I went to my old high school's graduation yesterday and I must say as usual it was redneck city. Although I was proud of my boy Will for graduating, and seeing some other people I was glad to see it honestly wasn't that great. Do I ever want to go back to high school? No, because college is way better.

Crush

Lately I've figured out if I had to date a famous person it would definately be Haley from Paramore. She has such an amazing voice and is so hot. This morning I was watching the rock countdown on MTV2 and they had Paramore on there and Haley was playing an acoustic guitar....now that's so hot. So yea thats definately my celebrity crush.

In other news I wrote another new song and im debating whether or not to record it. Hmmm such a problem. O well I'll find a solution soon enough so keep your eyes and ears peeled.

Saying Goodbye to Things Regarding The Jew Fro and Old Friends

First off...the jew fro is no more. That's right I am no longer bound by the hairy monstrosity which overtook my head since last July. Yay short hair.

Anyway, moving on. My little sister lost a classmate the other day, he died in a car crash early last saturday morning. I felt horrible that iwasn't sitting there being a crying sympathetic brother, but if you know anything about me you know I lost my best friend when i was in 9th grade. I watched him suffer and die with cancer for two years, then not long after that my grandmother passed on. So the idea of death really doesn't phase me. I also knew God had a purpose for taking them home when he did. Whatever God lets happen now although we may not see it, will eventually work out to give Christ the most glory. That is what we have to remember, also if they have recieved Christ we will see them again. So death doesn't have to really be the final frontier, and to whatever happens in life....to God be the Glory.

Fun Filled Weekends

I played a custom Martin acoustic this weekend that sounded amazing...and Im starting to get ideas for at least one new song...hopefully it will be ready by my trip to Flo-town June 9th.

It's Over!!!!

Another semester come and gone, now its finally summertime. Hoping for a good one this year filled with mischeivious adventures of monsterous proportions. But who knows. Ive already got two shows setup for the summer, one at ecity in July and one at Carpenter's Cellar this August. Check myspace.com/mourningformorgan and purevolume.com/elirhodes for updates.
